At a time when many Americans are frustrated with today’s political chaos and questioning the strength of presidential leadership, history offers a much-needed source of wisdom, useful advice, and hope.
Join us for a compelling presentation by Talmage Boston, acclaimed historian and author of How the Best Did It: Leadership Lessons From Our Top Presidents. As national unity feels impossible and trust in leadership is at an all-time low, Boston’s remarks will explore how America’s greatest presidents—Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Reagan—navigated crises, healed divisions, and led with strength, vision, and moral clarity through the power of their persuasion—one-on-one, in small groups, and to the multitudes.
These leaders understood that the presidency is more than a position of power. It is a responsibility to inspire, lead, and persuade with integrity, and to bring the country together when it needs it most. Their leadership communication skills offer timeless lessons that transcend politics, and are useful in all fields of endeavor, reminding us that great leadership isn’t about ego or partisanship. It is about vision, courage, and the ability to persuade a divided people to do the right thing.
